Hi everyone,
I’ve been experiencing a strange touchscreen issue on my iPhone 15 Pro Max and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar.
Occasionally, the first tap doesn’t seem to register and I have to tap again. This can happen with both small UI elements and normal-sized buttons, so it doesn’t seem to be limited to tapping very precise or tiny areas of the screen.
I’ve also noticed it sometimes while scrolling or when performing several actions quickly. It seems to happen more often when I’m switching between apps or trying to do something quickly on the screen. For example, I may tap something, start scrolling, or perform another action immediately afterward, and the phone occasionally seems to miss the input.
The confusing part is that the touchscreen doesn’t appear to have any specific dead spots. I’ve tested it using a touchscreen grid/mesh test and also by drawing and scribbling across the entire display. The touch follows my finger normally everywhere, and I haven’t found any area where touch consistently fails.
I’ve also restarted the iPhone, but the issue still happens occasionally.
Because the problem is intermittent and seems more noticeable during normal, fast-paced use rather than during a dedicated touchscreen test, I’m wondering whether this could be related to iOS, touch input processing, or something else rather than a hardware failure.
Has anyone else with an iPhone 15 Pro Max experienced occasional missed taps or missed touch input like this, especially while quickly switching between apps, scrolling, or performing multiple actions?
If you experienced this and managed to fix it, what ended up solving the problem? And is there any other touchscreen diagnostic or test I should try to determine whether the display itself is actually faulty?
Thanks!
